Marketing & Communications for Associations

Integrated marketing strategies that help associations inform members, promote events, and grow their audience, from brand voice to campaign execution.

Your members are busy professionals, and their attention is the scarcest resource your association has. Great marketing and communications earn that attention: the right message, in the right channel, at the right time. Kelly Dando Consulting builds and runs integrated marketing programs for associations so your organization stays visible, relevant, and top of mind all year long.

Why association marketing matters

Associations live or die by engagement, and engagement starts with communication. A member who hears from you consistently, with content that actually helps them, renews without a second thought and shows up to your events. A member who only hears from you at renewal time is already halfway out the door. Professional marketing and communications turn your association from a logo on an invoice into a presence your members value, which is the foundation of retention and growth.

Common questions

Questions boards ask us

What marketing does an association actually need?
Most associations need four things done consistently: a member newsletter, event promotion, renewal communications, and a current website. We build a plan around those, then layer in campaigns as goals grow.
Can you match our association's voice?
Yes. We develop a voice and style guide per client and every piece goes through it. Your members should never be able to tell an outside team wrote it.
Do you work with our existing tools?
We work in the platforms associations already use, including Constant Contact, Mailchimp, GlueUp, Wild Apricot, StarChapter, and WordPress, so nothing needs to be rebuilt to get started.
